Risk contour map for adjusted predicted mortality according to age and BNP. Example: 75-year-old patient with a BNP of 25 pg/mL has a predicted 5-year mortality of 0–5%, compared to 10–20% in a patient of the same age with a BNP of 200 pg/mL. Note that risk estimates are based on the ARM-CAD cohort of patients with extensive modification of risk factors and concomitant disease, revascularization as required, and highly involved secondary care physicians
